Kukla's Korner Hockey

I'll admit it. Sometimes, I just like to be contrary. But this isn't going to be one of those times. I come not to bury OLN and its hockey coverage, but to praise it.
For the most part, anyway.
I understand that's not a very popular position. The approval ratings of the NHL's much-maligned rookie broadcaster are about as high as President Bush's. I'd venture that a sizable majority of American hockey viewers wish they could return to the halcyon days of 2003-04 when ESPN brought the game into homes across the land. But after seeing the commitment demonstrated thus far by OLN, it seems to me that any thoughts of what might have been should be chalked up to good old days syndrome.
